In a Newspaper Office.


The majority of newspaper readers take
the columns of their favorite daily with
their coffee, tes, or cigar without one
moments thought or conside ration con-
corning the large force of men and
women whose labors have rendered this
luxury, we might say necessity, possible.
From the message boy to tn editor-in-
chief there is constant crescendo Of
labor, and labor that must be promptly,
faithfully, and regularly performed.
While other people sleep the newspaper
people work; while others enjoy, they
see pleasure through a business lens.
The sweetest strain of music must be re-
duced to "sticks," the gorgeous dresses
of fine ladies cut short, to SUIT space; and
the learned utterances of sch ars abbre
waited until the speaker is in doubt con-
corning not only his production but his
own individuality. In the newspaper
office everything Is reduced - business
principles, and everybody is ca the alert
to serve the public. 1t is world in it.
self An observatory, where not only
heavens are scanned, but the earth and
even the waters under the ear Among
all this force of busy bees, u,ne work
harder and receive more abus" than the
reporters. They are sent hither and
thither, as the exigencies of the service
demand, are subjected to lardships
through storm and tempest, sometimes
snub1ed and sometimes trea,ed with
great kindness, made to eat dinners they
do not want, and write up speeches they
do not like; compelled to listen 10 ill0gl-
cal aud crude arguments which rasp their
nerves; to be up early aud late, to know
everything, fear nothing, and literally
endure all things.

jackson and tte Old POSTMASTER


Washington Letter to the Nashville American.
One of the most delightful of racor-
tours tells this interesting story conceTD
ing Andrew jackson: A generalSfn the
revolutionary war, who was we'll known
to jackson, was postmaster of promi-
nent New York town. He had been an
Adams man, and Silas Wright, one of the
ablest representatives that state
ever had, and Martin Van Bu-
rem, who was then Jackson's
Secretary of State, formed coalition to
have the veteran warrior removed soon
after Jackson had taken the oath of office
The SCARED hero determined to go to see
Jackson and p Fad his own cause against
the powerful Jliticians who had deter
mined to puni h him for his advocacy of
Adams. He called upon Jackson at the
White House. The President engaged in
familiar conversation with him, when to
his smazement, the old soldier said: "Gen-
eral Jackson, have come here to talk
to you about nv office; the politicians
want to take it away from me and L have
nothing else to live upon" The Presi-
dent made no reply till the aged postmas-
ter began to take off his coat, in the most
eAClltu HduutI, Wueu Olu hlChoiJ uIOhc
out with the inquiry: what in heavens
name are you going to dor" swell, sir,
l am going to show you my wounds,
which l received fighting for my country
sgsinst the Engish." "Put it on at once,
SRI" was the reply. 81 am surprised
that man of your age should make such
an exhibition of himself" and the eyes of
the Iron President were suffused with
tears as without another word he oade bis
ancient foe good-evening. The next day
Wright called upon the President and
made out his case against the General and
urged his removal upon the strongest
grounds. He had hardly finished the last
sentence When JACKSON sprang to ais feet,
flung mis- pipe into the fire, and exclaimed
with great Vehemence: 81 take the con-
sequ. noes. BY the eternal l will not re-
move the old man. l cannot remove
him. Why, Mr.. Wright, do you know
that he carries more than pound of Brit
ish lead in his body?" That was the last
of it. He who was stronger than courts,
courtiers, or cabinets pronounced his
fat, and the happy old postmaster next
DAY took the stage and returned home
rejoicing. szg ss-
